Eric Fehr: I think they did a great job with everything, it was pretty top secret, we didn’t see the jerseys until we got onto the plane, it was great when we first got to see them. Walking out in the smoke was kind of cool it, I’m not sure how you guys saw it, but it felt pretty cool coming down the plane”
